Aaron McKenna looks back on his first trip to America, where he faced future world champion Devin Haney in the semi-finals of the Ringside World Championships in 2011. McKenna recalls Haney already being regarded as “the next big thing,” their conversations at the weigh-in and a closely contested 3-2 split decision that McKenna believes he won. The unbeaten Irishman also discusses finally fighting for a world title in Ireland, his long pursuit of big fights, the sacrifices he made moving to America and what a victory on Saturday could open up for his career.
